Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD Box Set

Warehouse 13 is about two secret service agents who save the president’s life and end up transferred to "Warehouse" number 13 where items and artifacts that have some connection to the paranormal are stored. As Warehouse agents, Myka and Pete are tasked with finding and collecting artifacts that are dangerous or powerful and bringing them back to the warehouse where they’re neutralized.

I enjoy owning DVD box sets for a variety of reasons, including the idea that I can watch whenever I want without having to worry that there’ll be no repeats or that some online service will quit streaming the episodes.

Because I’ve already had the opportunity to watch both season 1 and season 2, and season 3 is airing, it’s easy to see that the series is getting better with time. The series started off well, but as it matures, Warehouse 13 had developed into a great little fun and entertaining science fiction television series that’s family friendly but adult enough to keep anyone interested.

Purchase the Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVD Box Set if you like quirky and fun and watch (or rewatch) season 1.

10,000 Days Website

The website for 10,000 Days is interesting. It also crashed Adobe Flash on my older laptop and locked up Firefox. So, I won’t be going back to visit even though I find myself very interested in the show. It’s disappointing because the glimpse I had of the website made me want to take a closer look at it. Ah well. You can risk a visit if you like at http://10kdays.tv to learn more about this show.

Warehouse 13 stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, and others, all great at bringing the characters of Warehouse 13 to life.

Read on to see the list of episodes that are included in the season 2 DVD set. If you buy the DVD, you’ll want to know that the Christmas episode isn’t on the DVDs. It’s my understanding that Secret Santa is going to be released separately.

There are many great episodes on this DVD set that I enjoyed watching, including my favorites Merge with Caution, Age Before Beauty, Around the Bend, and Vendetta.

I think the show is improved from season 1, although I admit I’ve always liked it. Season 2 brought Myka and Pete closer together, but there’s not any real romantic spark between the two, who seem more like brother and sister than anything else. It’s a great show though, and well worth watching for the second or even the fourth or fifth time.

Game of Thrones 4-Book Boxed Set

A Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five in the highly acclaimed Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin was released earlier this month.

Recently, HBO began airing a new series based on these novels, called Game of Thrones.

If the new series has intrigued you and made you want to read the books, this boxed set is the perfect way to prepare for the newest novel so you can get all caught up with the critically acclaimed fantasy series.

The boxed set of the first four books contains A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, and A Feast for Crows.

The best price for the Game of Thrones novels might very well be this boxed set, which costs less than $20 (at the time of this post). At this price, that’s less than $5 for each book. You can get used copies for less, but new paperbacks cost significantly more. These are long, thick novels.

A Dance with Dragons is George R. R. Martin’s New Game of Thrones Novel

Released July 12, 2011, A Dance With Dragons is the fifth book in the series, where the Seven Kingdoms once again face threats, enemies, conflicts and betrayals.

A 1,040 page hard cover novel, A Dance with Dragons brings back familiar characters while introducing new.

Description of the Book

Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his spellbinding landmark series–as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again–beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has three times three thousand enemies, and many have set out to find her. Yet, as they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

To the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone–a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge yet. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

And from all corners, bitter conflicts soon reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all….

Sanctuary Woes

I just watched the Sanctuary season finale today, Into the Black. I admit I got behind on the series, but I didn’t feel a lot of motivation to watch quickly. The whole Hollow Earth story line makes me feel tired and bored. I’m losing interest and I’m left wondering where all the excitement went?

Latest episode: Sanctuary – Into the Black

I have found myself less interested in the series by the episode, which is too bad because I really liked Sanctuary in the first two seasons, even after the death of Magnus’s daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup).

But lately, instead of filling the show with compelling drama between the established characters, the little bit of character drama we see happens between our guys and outside people, such as Henry’s girlfriend or Will’s girlfriend. I have nothing against giving these people richer lives, but diluting an already struggling group dynamic hasn’t helped the show in any way that I can see.

Sanctuary is tired. I won’t call for the end of the show, because I know there’s probably someone out there that still enjoys watching, but seriously, if things don’t improve, I’m not going to be one of them…

Alphas So-So

Alphas Pilot Review

alphas

Watch Alphas at Amazon

Alphas premiered on Syfy Monday night. I recorded it to my DVR and started watching the pilot episode that night. About an hour into the one and a half hour  (including commercial time) episode I stopped watching and went to bed. The show was interesting but not enough to keep me from getting sleepy.

Unfortunately, I didn’t feel any particular anxiousness to finish the episode, but today I watched the rest.

Alphas tells the story of several people who have special abilities. The people aren’t that interesting, and the acting wasn’t that great. The action was okay, as was the dialogue, but there really wasn’t anything special about the show.

I will watch at least one more episode of Alphas, but I don’t hold out a lot of hope that the show is going to hold my interest. On the surface, so far, I don’t see how it’s really that different from Heroes (at least the beginning of the series – I never watched past season 1).

There are several great science fiction television shows airing these days, including Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Falling Skies, to name three. Alphas isn’t going to be one of them, unless something magical happens in the second episode.

Alphas Pilot Description

Dr. Lee Rosen (played by David Strathairn) and his team of Alphas, extraordinary individuals who can stretch the capabilities of the human mind, investigate an implausible murder at the behest of the Department of Defense.

Watch now at Amazon

About Alphas

Alphas Image Five ordinary people are brought together to form one extraordinary team of Alphas — people with the unique power to stretch the capabilities of the human mind giving them superhuman physical and mental abilities.

Operating within the Defense Criminal Investigation Service of the U.S. Department of Defense and led by preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Lee Rosen, an expert in Alpha phenomena, the team investigates cases that point to others with Alpha abilities. As they work against the clock to solve this new brand of crime, they must prevent their own personality differences and disparate backgrounds from interfering with their ultimate mission to catch the enemy.

Catching Up on CHUCK

Chuck has always been one of my favorite television series but a few things happened during season 3 that interrupted my viewing so I got behind on the series. I’ve recently been using my Netflix subscription to watch the DVDs for the last half of season 3 I haven’t seen.

There’ve been grumblings that the show is going downhill, but from my perspective, here in season 3, the show is still going strong.

I spend most of my Netflix time watching instantly, but Chuck is one of those shows that isn’t available for instant viewing. I don’t watch that many movies, so the DVD portion of my subscription is underused anyway.

I’m excited to finally be catching up on Chuck. I’m on season 3 disk 4. I know when I have the funds I’ll buy the Chuck Season 3 DVDs for my collection but why wait to watch when I have the opportunity to catch up now?

Chuck Versus the Other Guy

I just want to say… I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I can’t say I was sad to see the outcome that this episode delivered because it was exciting and twisty and just plain good. I do admit to feeling bittersweet about the entire thing. This was a great episode.

Chuck Versus the Honeymooners

Morgan’s contribution to the team turned out to be greater than I could have imagined and Casey and Morgan are fun to watch as they interact. Morgan cemented his place in the team; Casey returned to the team (as if there was any doubt he wouldn’t); and Sarah and Chuck took leaps and bounds in their relationship. All around, a fantastic and fun episode.

Chuck Versus the Role Models

A sign of things to come, and an enjoyable introduction to the newly changed relationship between Chuck and Sarah. Again, Casey and Morgan play off each other in a funny and exciting way that gives new life to the series. Now that the romantic tension between Chuck and Sarah is waning, having tension of another kind between some of the other characters is smart.

Chuck Versus the Tooth

The truth is in the tooth… Seriously. It’s obvious Chuck still has it, that something special that has always made me love the show.

This episode was full of great developments. I really like how the episode arcs are getting more complex and interconnected and how Ellie is being pulled into the story. I’ve missed the Buy More but the stories have been exciting and interesting enough to keep me from feeling too broken up about the decreased prominence of Buy More.

You can also buy the episodes to watch online or download to your computer. You can also find the DVDs on Netflix (but not to watch instantly).
